This is a pic from my parent's wedding album, they were married in October 1959 in Gravesend, Kent
My mother had made notes in the album describing what everyone was wearing, with this in mind I thought I'd do a bit of tweaking in Photoshop. She's not seen the result yet but hopefully she'll be pleased.
The original image was scanned and cleaned up a bit. The colours were added by selecting specific areas, pasting the selection into a new layer, filling the selection with a colour and then changing the layer blending option to 'overlay'. This keeps the existing detail with the addition of colour, you can adjust the opacity of the overlay to 'tweak' the intensity of each colour. Kept me out of mischief for a couple of hours

Lovely photos and a good bit of image manipulation!
Kev, just be thankful you didn't have to colour in this lot in the photo below. It's a McIntyre wedding and my cousin Shirley is the bridesmaid on the left of the photo. It's a wonderful display of 1950s attire and just look at all those characterful faces - I'll bet the variety of facial features won't be so great in future photos!

We used to have hundreds of glass slides at home when I was a lad. About 10 shoe boxes full. Dad brought them home I think found in the attic of an old property they were refurbishing. I made a projector for them using an old metal biscuit tin with light bulb in and a hole cut in the side and a magnifying lens fastened to the front. Trial and error found the best distance for a wooden slide holder. Very rudimentary but it worked well enough to project onto a white bed sheet. Some of the slides were hand tinted colour and we also had some which were painted rather than photographic. One set was "The Arabian Nights". Majority of the others were street scenes and landscapes from all over the country. Not sure what happened to them but I wish I had them now.

Wedding number 1 from last weekend and the bride and groom have chosen their pics for the album, accepted my first draft layout ("we love it") and it's been sent to the printers by FTP without leaving the comfort of my attic office. I wish they were all as easy as that
